FAQs

What type of heating system is this radiator best suited for?

The Kartell K-RAD Kompact Type 11 radiator is designed for two-pipe heating systems. For single-pipe systems, it is recommended to use diversion tees to achieve optimal performance.

The radiator comes complete with factory-fitted top grille and side panels, 4 x 1/2" connections, wall brackets, a fixing kit (including plugs and screws), and a nickel-plated plug and air vent.

How do I clean the radiator?

Clean the radiator with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the white enamel powder coat finish.

What is the warranty on this radiator?

The radiator is covered by the Kartell "No Quibble Guarantee" against any manufacturing faults for 10 years.

Can I use 3/4" valve adaptors with this radiator?

Yes, 3/4" valve adaptors are available and can be used with this radiator without reducing performance.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This specific model is 500mm in height and 1100mm in width.

Is installation straightforward?

The radiator includes a comprehensive fixing kit and brackets designed for easy and secure installation. However, basic plumbing knowledge is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up evenly or at all

Ensure the system is a two-pipe installation or that diversion tees are correctly installed in a single-pipe system. Check that radiator valves are fully open and that the system has been properly bled to remove air.

Leaking from connections or bleed valve

Tighten the connections or bleed valve slightly. Ensure the valve adaptor (if used) and bleed valve washer are correctly seated and not damaged. If leaking persists, contact a professional.

Noise during heating or cooling cycles

The plastic inserts on the brackets are designed to minimize this. Ensure the radiator is seated correctly on the brackets. Minor expansion/contraction noises are normal for metal heating systems.

External finish is scratched or damaged

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scratches, touch-up paint might be available, but significant damage may require professional assessment or replacement of the panel.
